Almost ready for the tree!! Well, as close to ready as we have been yet. The color is Lilting Laughter,... It is a derivative (?) of a beautiful copper. During the day, it looks like a glowing cream, at night, a warm peach. Both go with the rug, brighten the room, and we get the tree tomorrow. Matt comes home tonight. We have the Coburn Secret Santa extravaganza here tonight (in the playroom). Sarah and I have school through the 23rd :(

Drew feels good about his comp exams. We'll see. The mantel is an experiment. We'll see how/if it works with the rug. It's the third rung down on the paint chip spectrum. Just read this, I think I have ADD from working with 5 year olds!
